About PreventionWeb

PreventionWeb.net is a participatory web platform for the disaster risk reduction community. Our primary purpose is to facilitate an understanding of the subject of disaster risk reduction (DRR) and the work of professionals in this area by providing current news and views on the topic, and tools for exchange and collaboration.

Designing PreventionWeb 2.0:

PreventionWeb is the participatory platform of the disaster risk reduction community. We aim to help you understand and do DRR more easily by giving you a place to share knowledge and information, and connect. At your request, we're redesigning the site and services to be more #visual, #social, #responsive, #discoverable and #topical.
